Microsoft games does not open on Windows Vista.
Whenever I try to play all the pre-installed games (solitaire, chess, etc.) that they are not open. If I go to them via program files, they will come to the top. When I use the games shortcut in the start menu on the right side, he opens the window for these games but I can't open an any of them with double click I could before, I also can't right click any of the games either. Any help would be appreciated, please and thank you.

Outlook 2007 does not open after Windows Vista update 25 August 09 [Qosmio G50]
I thought that it would be useful to others to post my experience just now.
Yesterday (25 August 2009) my Outlook 2007 worked perfectly. I had downloaded & installed Outlook Connector 12.1 because I had received an email from Microsoft to say that the DAV protocol used for HTTP messaging would be withdrawn 1 / Sep / 09. I also noticed that MS had restored the POP3 service that they have closed a couple of years.
Then I configured the POP3 account and started working with that. Everything is OK.
Last night when I closed, Windows Update came and completed the reboot this morning. Outlook 2007 wouldn't start, coming up with the message: + cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. Failed to open all the files. The information store could not be opened. +.
Nothing that I've done in this environment would allow Outlook 2007 load, I created a new profile and who was not good.
So I went back to the Restore Point system with the installation of Outlook Connector and everything comes to life.
I tried also the restore point which challenge the update of Windows, but who does not cure the problem either.
So, I'll see what happens when I reboot again, in the case where he had nothing to do with Windows Update.
See you soon
Very strange
But maybe the Windows update was really responsible for this problem it is hard to believe, but it's not impossible -
? Photoshop elements 8 Organizer does not open on Windows Vista?
I installed Photoshop Elements 8 on a Windows Vista computer and saved. The organizer has opened with thumbnails broken throughout and I couldn't update the thumbnails. So, I closed the organizer and opened it again, hoping it would clear up. Instead, the organizer would not open at all, and I was not able to open the organizer since.
Despite several requests for Support, Technical Support could not help. They said to uninstall components and reinstall, but when I uninstalled it, the screen of the software disk says I must first disable my serial no throwing items 8 and will help > deactivate.
However, when I launched 8 elements, a screen will appear with a choice of either a free trial or to enter my serial number. I have entered my serial number and got a red 'X', and it would not accept the serial number. Technical support says that there is nothing wrong with my serial No.
Technical support then said to download the Evaluation Version. I did it, but could not open the trial either!
Message:
"The files currently in use. Some issues that needed to be updated are currently in use. »
"The following applications use files that ORT should be updated by this Setup.
Close these applications and click Retry to continue.
Organizer - Photoshop Elements.
So he thinks my organizer is open and using files, and it is not open. I can not open!
I clicked on try AGAIN and got the same message.
I clicked IGNORE and it was installing files, arrived almost at the end, said 'product registration', then said "roll back the action" and started to go backwards.
I had uninstalled my Elements 7 software because I intend to use now 8 elements. I decided to reinstall 7 elements to use while I was dinking autour with version 8 and now it gave me the same message:
the serial number is an error, or is already in use by someone else!
Now I can't use either 7 or 8.
Help! Does anyone know how to disable a serial No., when the software has already been uninstalled? Can it be done?
Hello
The error message that you've shared below will come where say for some reason any Organizer.exe is still running in the Task Manager and you try to install the PES.
If installation is back up to the end, then delete the cache.db which is located at the following location and try to install again. This step has fixed the problem for many users.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache\cache.db
Also, before trying to install PES 8 new, delete the files in the folder folder and then try again to install. Since then, the serial number is already checked as correct, that you shouldn't be running on these issues. If you are still not able to move forward after following instructions above, then please reply back and we can connect through internet session and I can try to look into your machine and see what all I can help you.
Kind regards

- You have problems with programs
- Error messages
- Recent changes to your computer
- What you have already tried to solve the problem
Review the information from the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.
http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/search.aspx?l=en-us&type=software&s=Grand%20theft%20autoHe says that version 2 is not compatible.
If Aero is the problem, disable it before installing the game and then turn back on.
I would say as you right-click on Setup and select "Run as Administrator".I hope this helps.

Windows 7 does not open the windows in the taskbar. The content seems to be displayed off the screen. It started after the uninstall of Registry Mechanic and PC Tools, but this cannot be bound. IE 9 seems to be particularly affected. So do not display all of the windows that show on the taskbar.
Use the Windows logo key & left arrow several times for each windows application through their positions until they appear on the screen.
This problem is normally reported after someone used an external monitor as the applications try to open in the same position they had when they were last open - so if there was an external monitor last time now disconnected, they will try to open it in the middle of nowhere.
I know not, or the other tools that you mention, but if they are registry cleaners then they could also affect other parts of your system.
